It comes from the pen of a Gentlemen who is well known as an active Ma'- gistrate, as a man of business, and as a man .of science, and who, therefore, may be expected) - to be well acquainted with the extent of crimes occa sioned by the present description of BANK NOtiS,• e inconvenience and loss which result truce-fo - genies of them in mercantile transactions, and the most likely means of lessening the evil. Such a paper, and from such a quarter, one would suppose would have attracted the immediate attention of the Directors of the Bank; on the contrary, how ever, we are inforMed, that nu notice was taken of it until within the last few weeks,, when the author received an intimation from the Bank, that several-similar plans had been sent, and that the Directors did not conceive any of them to be ade plate to the object. For the object of complete extinguishment of the Crime of forgery, perhaps no human invention ever will be found adequate—but if we cannot altogether annihilate crimes, there is no reason , why we should- nonuse our best endeavonra to re move temptations to the commission of them. ,Such temptations are afforded . by a continuance in the use of.the present antiquated form of Bank notes, which so many thousands of persons are able to, imitate. Any intelligent person may judge as well as a Director of the Bank, u bether Mr. BesimoNT's plan Would not in a very great degree narrow the. means of committing the crime, even if - .it should fall short o f t o tal ventiou, and it it would have this'effect the Bank pre- I of England incorr a heavy moral , responsibility in the great sacrifice Or human lives which results froth persisting in the use of Bank-notes as they have been hitherto nianufactured : Extract front a Paper delivered' by J. ,T. -BARBER BEAU mos'r, Esq. F.A.S. t,) the flank:of England. FOrgeries of Bank of England notes are „so frequent, be cause they are so easy .of itaitation.„ They are of inferior workmanship to common-engiayed shop-bills. An iippren tice to a writing engraver of two years standing, by three or four• days work, is able• to copy a dank-note plate, so that ordinary judges cannot tell thq genuine from the'spurious, There are nuts less than 10,000 persons in this, country who are able to engrave successful imitations of Wilk of England liptes, and nine-tenths of these are in needy, and many of Wien' in distressed, circumstances. therefore, not sur prising, if amongst so many who are Competent to relieve their necessities by these forgeries, some s hould b e desper ate enough to-commit them. . . Nuw if, instead of being the common-place work of inferior writing-engravers (who are so numerous), Bank-note plates were master-pieces of the best historical engravers, who are so few, Whose talent is so rarely to be found, the number of; persons who would be able to attempt an imitation, with any chance of success, would be very inconsiderable indeed—not ten persims, perhaps, where there are now ten thousand:, 'But these persons, bylhe legitimate use of their talents, can acqiiiir competence—they therefore are not likely to employ their time, - and risk their lives in felonious imitations. Nay, if in the perversity Of the human mind a first•rate artist were disposed to turn forger, be could not do it successfully, because, even in the very first rank, of historical engravers, one cannot imitate the engraving of another in a.,work of importance, such as an historical group finished in the best style, without the difference of manner being visible. If, for instance, Sharp were employed to engrave a plate, and Heath or WaLICH (I hope those Gentlemen will partien the supposi- mote i that tvr • HMI IJo~t. 141441; g_ 114: );) hit 4,i Ili - or litaty lotiie on' id cie iH C fry• Is bit r) the ft, ire!'" ttar ce - iti ,nve, halt. they lot t's of them e t it is t!dil iiT~i: 1n V:it ft I :: ~' (L' tiiii the Esti stir uallf Ittes' teW I 1111.. mivr hilt ►Rifs ~~ the ' :it ii 3 ,t:11) 4 tcv li iil~~~ ~, (tYi~L .~~~i~~ :su,~~ 6p c ct tist= that es t 't Ili* de- r s of OD) farcc• er iit •ealiy tie ill ~qll)~ ilish — re" e re" t .tba; t fie P° l : go).- mu' was irci• Wry , ly b' Iwo' ivy il) Ils or' rf Ye a Dia' yENI I E * N6.P. tion) were.disposed .t.%iiiiitate it, :they miht„produc e a work of similar beauty and genera l e ff ect to that of Sharp' s , b u t the-differenc e of mariner would be dbeions to the commonest observer, and no only would the forgery be,instautly'de tected,-but the hand that had done it be immediately identi- Ged—for historical engravers recognize each other's handiing wit h. as much facility as correspondents recognize each other's hand- writing; and with more certainly.• It is, therefooe, aut within the verge •of probability to suppose .thae'first-rate artists, enjoying large incomes, would comnittatrirrie, where defeat, detection, and punishment could not fail to light ott them immediately; and as none but first-rate artists could make the attempt, it follows that an end would be put to the commissiou of the crime. This view does not rest upon theoretical reasoning ; it has been proved to be tree in •practice. Several Country Bank ers have long b een aware of ;the util i ty of haviogAheir not es engraved itf a superior manner, its order to.mcrease tin: diffi culty of imitation. They have had their notes engraved its this manner, and have succeeded completely. I might quote several instances of the success which has followed this lire caution, but this ,may %office.: The Proprietors of the Ply mouth Dock Bank, about 1.8 years since, were forged op in they; in consequence,, had a handsome righ t tie designed,aud engraved by an eminent his , srical engraver. He I:as en graved several sneeessive plates for them, and they Inure nevi r been imitated. But the partners, some years since,' wishing to hare a distinct app,arance between their Notes and had 4 new plate engraved for the latter, with only an ornamental cypher instead of the vie•:ette. this wa s •no sooner issued than it was imitated, where-Upon they imme diately discontinued the use of the cypher plate, and adopted the vignette,. and since then they have had no forgeries on them. -The artist tell r.e that he and other historical en gravers have engraved Vignettes fur sev...al Conn; ry Bankers, and that lie never heard of a surgery having liven attempted •of -any of their plates. Theis the feas-P.;lity of. the sxv.cin in theory stands confirmed by practical experience. Its eiree tiveness then, in the prcvention of forgerie,s,l think cannot admit of a doubt. The only reasonable objections wl,ich I cats conceive it possible to adv•inee,' in the' seemiogis treat expence of using superior histUrical engravings , inste•oi ferior writing plates. If, however. I shall prove, the i.l%tv,il. of the proposed :means invoiriog the B 5 ik in adliii,o n nd - pence, it will materially lessen the expenees, a i. t 1, ,, time that it *ill relieve the public from the loss of tin, oc casioned by writing names, po thi notes, the loss of proi:e.'ty incident to their receiving (urged notes, and the vexatious proceedings consequent .un their being imp/melted by the Bank, to say nothing hereof the temptation to crime, and the sacrifice of lives, colisequenkon the present mode of manufac turing Bank -notes—I think it will be impossible to deem the system which I advocate otherwise than highly useful to the Bank, as well as tO the public, and such as ought to be adopt ed without delay. Now then•ai to trpcnce. • It is waisnown that engraving may be done upon soft ened steel as well as on . copper ; it is also ascertained that when engraved, - the steel plates may be hardenedlo a high • degree without injury, and that so prepared they will yield an, immensenumber of impressions without any sensible, wear ing,. I have•heard some practical men say they will bear a million of impressions, others reckon upon a hundred thou sand. A plate executed as '1 propose would cost 301.; so that taking the minimum orimOressions, vii. ieo,ocio, the expeller; of • using fine historical .engravings on steel would ire 301. for 100,000 impressions. - • The present copper plates, I :s uppose,: cost the Bank about 31. each, and yield about 5,000 impressions; the expense then of using bad writing engravings an copper, is 001;for 100,000 iMpressionfes.jU.skdouhle.the expellee of plates nu the preven tive system. This view onqffraWs into .comparison the rela tive expenses of the opposite desc. ipt ion of engravings, but a •fae more important saving would be producedby superseding the necesilty" of the.expeinee of criakiinsl prosecutions, and of dbe,attendant corps of spies and informers. A 1'161114 • effect of this sytteM in preventing forgeries, would be found in all the notes of one kind fora long period of years being takers from'ene plate, whetite a In4con having a genuine note might compare it witlithemibegie of another, suspected'to be forged, and as it 'would lie impossible even for the artist himself •who had-engravers arts w•t - iginal pl a te, to tams, in a copy, the length, sweep, depth and numb er o f the strokes in hi s or i g in a l , • a it ettji•tisri wimitt be easily 'made, even by thosewlio knew notlting.ol, the arts.
